 There is school-house at Hop River, which was built two years since, and the people there celebrated arbor day in the spirit and letter of the governors procla- nation. The boys attending school were glad in prospect of a half-holiday. "Good chance to play ball, " they said, but the teacher put down the rule thus, "H you are not going to help plant trees then school will be the order this afternoon. !" So to the woods went the men, sent by ,Wm. O. Jillson, teacher, the boys and some of the girls. All went to work with will, the girls insisting on helping carry the trees to the wagon, then to the school ground, where twelve trees were set out and named as follows: Wm. o. Jillson, Herbert Thyng, P. H. Phillips, Fred. Greenwood, Jerry Sullivan, Thos. Sulli- van, John Donohoe, Elmer Michaux. Mar tin Parker, Ednah Noble, Goldbury and Conner, the twelfth being in memory of the late Mrs. Clifford former resident. Dannie Sullivan surprised the workers by digging in the gravel close to the school house, and it was found that he had brought rose- bushes and towering al- monds to set out-a happy thought-and a nice place was provided for Dannie's gifts. The children and 'sgrown-ups" are proud of their afternoons work, and years hence, should the trees flourish, the chil- dren attending school there will be grate- ful for pleasant play ground. Michael Sullivan, district committee, set four ma- pies, last year, in front of the school house. There are now sixteen trees for shade.
